Great thread! So many great treasures lost...Marlborough-Blenheim Hotel, Old Penn Station and many more. Regardless, it's great to see all of these past gems. Also, nice to see that sometimes demolishing a structure improves a space.

Here are a couple from Minneapolis.
Prior:
Metropolitan building (Northwestern Guaranty Loan building)

Current site:
330 2nd Avenue S.

So much worse. Good ol' urban renewal.



Prior (this entire square block - the W.F. Woolworth store as the anchor):

Current:
The IDS center, crystal court and Marquette hotel.
